Agonists of melatonin receptors strongly promote the functional recovery from the neuroparalysis induced by neurotoxic snakes

This paper shows that melatonin receptor agonists promote functional recovery from krait venom-induced neuroparalysis in mice, suggesting their potential use in human snakebite treatment.

Nucleolin internalizes Bothrops asper Lys49 phospholipase A2 forming cell surface amyloid-like assemblies

This paper shows that Bothrops asper Lys49 phospholipase A2 interacts with nucleolin, is internalized by cells via nucleolin, and forms amyloid-like surface assemblies that may drive toxicity.
